Such a well written book on love and also racism and false imprisonment. Not only romantic love but familial love too. I felt so awful for Fonny and the book did a good job showing how messed up the justice system is. I liked examining how strained the relationships are in Fonny’s family. Tish was a hardworking woman and I liked how her family was there to support her, her mom especially. I wish it was longer!!
